Location of TDC Sensor
On the way home from work tonight, the infamous CEL popped on. I checked it, and think it's a code 8, I just get 8 long flashes. Checked the list, and it's TDC sensor. Car is a 99 DX hatch with the D16Y7.
1. Is this sensor in the distributor and are there any common problems associated with it?
2. I just replaced the timing belt maybe 1000 miles ago. No problems whatsoever. Car still runs just fine even after the code is up. I know the crank fluctuation sensor is down at the bottom, so it's not that one. But is it associated with the belt at all?
Is this a replace dizzy thing or just reset and see if it comes back? I'll check the timing and make sure everything is plugged into the dizzy correctly. Thanks.
BTW: Searching revealed mixed views and problems. Very few were related to Civic's also.

Re: Location of TDC Sensor (******)
reset the ecu and if it still comes back you can get a distributer housing assembly for about $100. they don't just sell the tdc sensor.

See I originally thought this too, however there isn't a code 80 on the list of ECU codes, not to say that maybe it doesn't exist. But I thought the same might be true.
Can anyone confirm this, or possibly shed some light as to what code 80 might be? The CEL came on as soon as I started the car, I didn't even pull out of the parking spot. And it wasn't on this morning.
I've reset the light and thus far it hasn't come back on after driving approx. 20 minutes :crosses fingers:

This is why I prefer P codes.....they always exist somewhere in the Helms manuals!
